TheCheapOStore.com - Everything is sold for 99 cents, including your identity?
Thecheapostore.com is an anomoly in a world of cheap stuff and people searching for the cheapest stuff. At the thecheapostore.com you can buy anything for 99 cents but whether anything actually gets sold is another question.
As you might probably guess, I am constantly making my friends and family aware of malicious internet "stuff". Apparently, they listen.
My wife approached me yesterday to tell me about what she considered a funny story about a website where she was trying to puchase something. The website was called thecheapostore.com. Apparently, everything is on auction and everything costs 99 cents.
There were two funny things about it she told me. The first was that when she tried to purchase, my network identity theft protection fired off an prevented her from going to the website . The second was that all auctions start at 99 cents, end in 30 minutes, but if you refresh your browser, the clock starts again.
"DING!"
So I asked her to show me the site. Here is my short analysis:
The site itself is a simple front end showing "Latest Products", and it opens rather slow, presumably because it is a DSL connection as reported by centralops.
The products are presented to you in an iframe from another website madsem.com
<iframe src="http://campaigns.madsem.com/magentoshops/index.php" width="350" height="280" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
Now, go to madsem.com
It says only.
"welcome Biatches :)"
So what exactly happens to your information when you click "Send". Someone has it. And he thinks your a biatch.
My suggestion is to research websites before you send their information or making a purchase.
